Gare Maritime, Brussels, Belgium

The Gare Maritime, consisting of seven interconnected historic station halls, was transformed into a large office, shopping, restaurant and event complex.

We erected 12 four- and five-storey buildings in the halls in pure timber construction. we built 12 four- and five-storey buildings in pure timber construction, consisting of large ribbed ceilings (LENO® cross laminated timber panels on glulam ribs) on a support structure.

In a twelve-month construction period, 9,000 m³ of timber was used, of which 6,000 m³ was LENO® cross laminated timber and 3,000 m³ glulam, 200 m³ laminated veneer lumber and 80 m³ BauBuche.
